WHERE water is so scarce and so valu- able as in southern Arizona it is sin to permit it to waste, like it has done the present season, for lack of facilities for storing it away for future use. If the waters of the floods were impounded there would be an abundance to irrigate every acre of tIllable land and some to spare, even during the dryest season. The owner of an unfailing source of water supply for irrigation is the posses sor of source of wealth far better and richer than the best gold mine, and it can be managed with a very slight ex, pense. The mountain ranges and can yons along the rivers afford ample oppor, tunities for the erection of suitable dams to hold all the waters that now go tc waste and in this character of enterprise the capitalists will yet find the most secure and profitable investment the western country offers.

 How to Make Mead

The following recip will produce the most palatable and refreshing summer drink one c uld ask for. It is simple and inexpensive: Pour one quart of boiling water on 1i pounds of sugar, one half pint of moIasses, two ounces of tar taric acid and half an ounce of essence of sassafras. When cold, bottle and cork tight and keep in a cool place. When wanted to use, take three teaspoonfuls of this syrup in three-fourths of a tnnbler of water, put in one-fourth of teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda, stir and drink immediately.

THE evil that is in an Apache Indian can not be eliminated by any speedy process known to civilization, and it possesses a tenacity that death alone can hope to sub due. The old wretch Es-kim- -in-zin, whose conscience smiles most cordial approval of scores of human sacrifices that embellish his escutcheon, has been believed to have thoroughly reformed his cratic ways and become brilliant exam pie of the success achieved through the kind influences of civilization. The lau- rels won by his victory of peace were worn with even prouder consciousness of immortal glory than the chieftain's garb stained with the blood of murdered settlers, their helpless wives and inno- cent children, in attestation of his courage as great warrior. He has doubtless laughed immoderately in the garment that answers for a sleeve, marry and many time, at tho manner in which his native cunning deceived tho shrewdnes, of culture and he probably often exclaim ed with Puck-"What fools these nor tals bew When the mask is torn off anC the unembellished history is written, tn, hideous savageness of his nature stand, out as a conspicuous factor of the i'm perishable depravity that is inseparably connected with the Apache character He and his band have so long been suf fered to prey mercilessly upon the set tiers of the lower San Pedro that he nov lays tribute as an undisputed right ant commands silence and respect by intin idation.

the Gila river. A dam can be cheaply constructed across the river upon solid bedrock foundation, with rock anchorage upon either end, that will impound suf- ficient water to keep all the canals now built full of water during the most severe summer drouth and still have an abun- dance to spare, even though no mountain rains should fall in the meantime. Ma ture has supplied the best possible facilities for such a grand enterprise and when the energy of man supplements 1t with little labor very large area of desert land can be reclaim ed and brought under cultivation. But this is not the only natural reservoir in that vicinity. There are several adjacent basins of i'm mense capacity that can be filled in times summer months, by which the capacity of the storage facilities can be doubled. Then the Box canyon, a tributary of the Gila below the Butte, can be easily con
 verted into grand reservoir to supply all the lands on thenorth side of the river. In fact, the formation of the mountainou! country along the river to the eastward is such that dozens of storage reservoir
 can be constructed to hold more water than can be possibly needed for irrigation
 purposes. Surely the water problem fo
 this valley is not difficult to solve.

NATURE certainly intended Arizona to become the brightest gem in the cluster of states that form the American nation. when it gathered within its boundaries every element and resource needed in the civilized world. The thoughtful man cannot restrain expressions of deep won der when shown the extent and variety Of these favors and it is indeed land of enchantment to the sentimentalist, a study to the naturalist, problem to the philosopher and an empire to its own people. Were the whole outside world plotted out of existence there is no single want now supplied the people of Arizona but could be filled out of the natural re- sources of the Territory. The agricul- tural lands are capable of suppl ying every known product of the world with the few exceptions that strictly pertain to the tropics; in cereal, vegetable, fruit and fibre not single desire need exist un- satisfied. In metals we have an abund- ance of all known varieties. We have timber for our lumber supply and coal for our fuel; game for the sportsman and the most sublime scenery upon the face of the earth for the tourist. We have medicinal plants and herbs to meet any allment and climate to suit any condl- tion of the human constitution. Indeed, the catalogue of our natural resources is beyond our ability to enumerate, while the omissions of kind nature may be counted upon the fingers of one's hand. What grand empire in itself would Arizona become if forced to depend upon its own resources It would be a world compressed within it's 113,00O square miles, and busy, happy and prosperous world, enjoying every advantage that art and science can achieve and every luxury that mankind can desire.

We have news of another killing in Pleasant Valley, which we think is ostensibly correct. John Tewksbury, a MT. Jacobs and another person whose name we were unable to learn, were the victims. The bodies of John Tewksbury and Jacobs Were discovered by Mrs. 1ewksbury, some distance from her resi- dence and near her father-in-law's house, which evidently they were trying to reach. The third man had just reached John Tewksburys house, had picketed his horse and was on his way to the house when felled, it is supposed, by an axe.
 The senior Tewksbury is reported as having arrived in Prescott, and sur rendered himself to the sheriff.
 It is reported that U. s. soldiers have been ordered from Fort Verde to Pleas ant Valley for the purpose of trying to arrest the beligerent factions. Silver Belt.

THE differences between the Florence Canal Company and the Government, re- lating to the water supply for the Indians at the Pima agency, are to be at once amicably adjusted. The Company gives ample guarantee that the supply of water on the reservation now utilized shall not be diminished by re ason of the canal and they will, if necessary, furnish the water from an extension of the canal. There is no danger, however, of the supply be- ing curtailed, for the Gila river furnish es great abundance of water for all, and the attempt to create a misunder- standing was an unnecessary piece of spiteful meddling by the former agent. Col Elmer Howard, the present agent, is gentleman of broad ideas and possesses a spirit of fairness in the matter, and while he exercises a proper care for the interests of the Indians, he is disposed tc cultivate the most cordial relations be tween them and the settlers. He vii probably recommend the approval oi the terms of settlement and his action indorsed by U. S. Attorney Rouse, vii end the difficulty that at one time threat ened hardships to the settlers and bodet hostility towards the Indians.

THE grief that Prescott now displays because of the establishment of an Apache Indian reservation in Yavapai county, will be somewhat assuaged when the next census taker completes his labors. Three Apaches make the woods full of Indians to the ordinary white man, which fact will not be forgotten where Yavapai's enumeration readjusts her representation In the Legislature. Even this dark cloud has nickel-plated lining to the aspiring politician.
